“Details on the cause to be announced by the Department of Energy (DOE) later in the day,” the advisory read.

A yellow alert is usually raised when a grid’s reserve power — the difference between supply and demand — is below the required level.

A yellow alert will not lead to power outages, the DOE said. (Editor: Gilbert S. Gaviola)
